Where to buy

Overview

The AW526 is a high power,
lightweight, 2-way, full-range
loudspeaker system comprised of the
JBL Differential Drive dual voice coil
and dual magnetic gap 2265H-1
380 mm (15 in) low-frequency driver
and 2432H high-frequency 38 mm
(1.5 in) exit, 75 mm (3 in) voice-coil
compression driver. The large format
Progressive Transition wave-guide
provides excellent 120° x 60° Coverage.
The waveguide is rotatable so the
loudspeaker system can used in either
the vertical or horizontal orientation.
The system is equipped with a 400 W
70/100V transformer.
A heavy-duty stainless steel U-type
mounting bracket is included and
allows for easy installation on flat
surfaces or in 9° corners.
The enclosure is constructed of
multilayer glass composite and is
heavily braced to maximize lowfrequency
performance. The 14-gauge
stainless steel grille, backed with open
cell foam and stainless steel mesh,
provides excellent protection in the
harshest environments.
The AW526 is part of JBL's AE Series,
a versatile family of loudspeakers
intended for a wide variety of
applications.
